An inspection Tuesday found that raw meats, cooked shredded chicken, and tamales in a walk-in cooler were being stored at unsafe temperature between 49 and 50 degrees. The food had to be discarded.
The cooler was found to have an ambient air temperature of 56 degrees. The restaurant was ordered to discontinue using it until it can maintain food temperatures 41 degrees. The cooler is expected to be serviced; the health department has threatened to close the place if it is not.
